Alléluia
Alleluia
When Michel (Laurent Lucas), a womanizing con artist, meets pathologically shy mortician Gloria (Lola Dueñas) via an online dating site, he treats her to a whirlwind one-night-stand. Finding herself falling head-over-heels for the obviously nefarious Michel, Gloria offers herself as an accomplice in his seductive crimes involving the swindling of lonely women, and the unhinged lovers soon embark on a chaotic murder spree amplified by wild sex, unbridled jealousy, and passionate forays into the dark arts. A sinister, spellbinding update of the 1969 cult classic, THE HONEYMOON KILLERS (with both films based on the infamous true story of the Lonely Hearts Killers), ALLÉLUIA compellingly careens from wild psychodrama to bloody thriller to a wonderfully absurd, SWEENEY TODD-esque musical number.
